This is my biggest fear switching to AMD Gpus. Poor drivers and not being able to play my games with the limited time I have.

The drivers are pretty good these days

I have yet to notice a driver issue with power color 6800 or 6900xt. I've been running both for some time now.

Both AMD and Nvidia are pretty good driver wise. If I wanted to cherry pick on off instances of issues with either brand I could (after all there were Nvidia 3000 series cards getting bricked by new world and 2000 series had space invader artifacts) but in reality the probability of running into issues on either is low.

Quote from Beach-Knight :
CEO for Nvidia said 2-4x speed increase for 4080 over 3080. We'll see if that happens(I'm doubtful). I suspect only in certain benchmarks. MSRP is $899. I don't see an $800 3080ti as a target. I see it as something to look past. I would agree with naysayers that it may take a while for stock at MSRP to be available, but a $900 4080 at MUCH improved speed and ~10% lower power is the better target. TAiwan semi already told Nvidia they are on the hook for the whole order of chips. They will be coming to market at a time that demand is much lower due to fewer computers being sold, AND mining isn't the craze it was. Also there are fewer discretionary funds to spend. It all adds up to a buyers market maybe as soon as early next year. I'm fine with a 1070ti on twin 1440 monitors. I'm holding out for a $700-$800 4080, and then I'll look to upgrade my system. With lower power demands than feared a month ago, my 850 watt PSU should work also.
$700 - $800 for the 4080 12GB would still be a ripoff. The 4080 12GB has a die size of 295mm2. That's just bigger than a 3050. The difference in size between the 4080 and 4090 is MASSIVE and so too will the performance. At best the 4080 12GB should be called a 4070 but more appropriate would be 3060 / 3060 Ti.

I wouldn't touch that card for upwards of $550.

Quote from Leader2light :
Would this be a big upgrade from a 1080ti? Never used AMD before. Thinking I'll just keep waiting for at least another few months.
I upgraded from a 1080 and don't really notice the difference even at 1440P. If I watched fps I'm sure it would be faster, but with the naked eye it's not a huge difference. I upgraded to use the 1080 in another rig and after 6 years with the 1080 I decided it was time. I went for the $700 6900xt with 3 games. If the 6800xt was cheaper at the time I'd get that instead.

Quote from Vanquished :
Yea the Hotspot does hit 100 occasionally, I blame it on the ridiculous cooling profile it has. No matter how many times I turn off zero fan it finds its way back on. Fan doesn't even turn on if the temp is below 60C. I want it on all the time.

To the best of my knowledge 100c is fine for a Hotspot. 120 is the danger zone, I've only seen the Hotspot hit 100 a couple times and never when the fans are on like they should be.
I hear you. i was a bit concerned about the delta too. By that i mean some areas are 60-70 while i was having some that were over 100.

It's just an annoyance to go have to muck with the power profile and deal with it. I had the fan on when gaming and was hitting high hot spot temperatures.

if the card were 500 i'd not care but for 700 I didn't want to have to continue to deal with the software configuration in my computer.

If you lower the power limit by 5-10% i had pretty much no hot spots even when gaming. It was an even 65 or so.

i also wish they'd not overclock these cards or have a hard switch to turn> i've been down this road before and when these cards run that hot it really can lead to issues down the line. I just feel for 700 even the tuf or xfx model is better buy they are pretty much the same price.

Dude, windows 11 is having major issues with Nvidia after their latest update. Microsoft's recommendation is to roll back to 21h1 !!!!

I think i've decided at point most of the costs that go into these cards are fixed. Is there really a price it's worth buying these anymore. The new cards have double the performance. THey may inflate the prices to sell these, but i think it makes sense to see if amd needs to do this. i don't know the stock of the amd stuff.

I mean you can go look at the transistor density and clock speed alone. It's going to be much faster and have more features.

Let's say this is even 600, if you can get a new 7800 for 800, i don't see this being worth it honestly. 400-500 sure. That is how i bought my 1080 ti, but they just aren't going that here. The used people are insane. Why would i buy a used card when the new ones cost the same or cheaper.

I still think this market is kind of crazy personally. Sure there is inflation, but it's not impacting consoles nearly as much which use a lot of the same parts and honestly a lot of other things. Some of this is just bad design and greed that they are hanging on to from the last two years, or they paid too much because others were taking advantage of crypto, but those problems are gone now etc there are two sides. Also, i hear they are close to cost, but i see new 6900's going for close to 600 occasionally on newegg, and newegg is making money> i 'd love to see a real bill of materials, not a hand-wavey one. Hold the line, i say fix prices and cut the fat. Buy it if you want, but you're getting a card with dated tech, huge, loud, and almost the prices of a new far better card. It doesn't seem like a great deal to me.

Also by the way i 've tried this card, it has hot spots. it's a pain to cool. I don't think these oc cards are all that. It's really big but you game on it and you get 100 c pretty fast in places where others are 60, i have to wonder what kind of stress that puts on things over time. If this were a good cooler design (cold pate) you'd be seeing basically 70's more even.

At least amd tends to support stuff for a longer period of time, though they didn't turn on rebar in their old stuff. I'm even a little nervous about anything new that's beyond FSR at this point. I kind of want to know what they are releasing at least next when i spending this kind of money. If you need something new i think a 300-- 6700xt is a better way to go, than buying this, or a new card in a few months after the loonies calm down when the new stuff is released and take the time to make a calculated decision. This old crap isn't going anywhere. At least with Nvidia there is a year's supply and more and more used coming. eventually something will give. Or if it doesn't i mean you still have 600 to put toward something far better. It's not like you necessairly need the performance but at these figures now they are asking for cards a lot of people want to make a purchase and hang onto it for 5 years. Kind of hard to do that when your two years into that already. I see a ton of reasons not to buy this.
